    Help, 275/70/18 or 285/75/18 ?

    Yeah. That's why I kept the tires as they were the cheapest.

    Intermittent A/C?

    Check refrigerant pressures first. This is a common symptom of low refrigerant. As the system runs, the low side pressure will drop during certain events (like hitting the gas). If it gets too low (typically around 20-25 PSI), it will cut off the compressor until the pressure climbs back up to...

    2009 Tahoe AC blinks three times and will not come on

    I think this suggestion is a good one. When I had low refrigerant, I had the same problem. IIRC I had to used a tech 2 program to force it. Could try jumping the low pressure switch and then turning on at the panel.

    Help, 275/70/18 or 285/75/18 ?

    They wouldn't even install them and told me I got no warranty. I had to have my neighbor take them to a shop and let's just say I got charged the "oversized tire" rate. That was the 2nd visit to costco (the tires weren't there for my 1st appointment) and I was done screwing with tires. Hopefully...

    I wish I would've read this comment before today, the same thing happened to me, except mine were 10% bigger :)

    Installed some new 18" fuel vector wheels

    Thanks for the info. I guess it's worth asking what you have now?

    Installed some new 18" fuel vector wheels

    I saw in another thread that you used to have the police wheels. What made you want to go to these? Does the Tahoe have any type of lift? Do the wheels stick out (it's tough to see from the pics)?

    2011 Yukon..Transmission shot... worth replacing?

    Do what everyone else suggests and replace it. I just bought my tahoe in april and ended up doing almost a complete motor rebuild. Don't regret it one bit. One thing that will bite you in the ass more than you realize is depreciation on something newer. That will cost you more than replacing the...

    Cooling fans not running, but no overheating. Normal in cold weather?

    From my tuning work on my other car, it's completely reasonable for the temps to get under 202 F when you are not regularly stopping, and that's down here in TN. This would rarely happen in the summer, but does happen frequently when it gets cold(er) here.

    Detroit Axle Suspension Parts

    I'll chime in here as well. I ordered some a steering rack from them and got the wrong one. After 3 weeks of trying to get them to ship me a new one, I cancelled my order and requested an RMA. Sent the original part back and they kept telling me they would refund me but I had to open a dispute...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    stock profile for an AFM delete application. I already have a perpetual pain in my ass automobile. 3 weeks. It was slow going. Yea. I pulled the front off and it made it pretty simple. I didn't have an issue with space. Compared to the T/A this was a dream. Amazon. Decent quality for way...

    Brass Wheels

    I'm currently planning the wheel and tire upgrade for my 08 Z71 Tahoe and I am curious if anyone has any pictures of a Tahoe with brass wheels. My vehicle is black and while I'm currently planning to powder coat the stock rims black (most likely a satin finish), I'd like to see what the...
